powernode-platform: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

powernode-platform CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from nodealchemy/powernode-platform. It costs 4,088 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Powernode, an open-source control plane for managing AI-agent fleets. They describe its Rails API, React frontend, Sidekiq worker, extensions, database, and rules for locating development guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on Powernode's backend, frontend, worker, extensions, governance, agent coordination, or infrastructure and lifecycle features.
Why use it?
They give an agent the system layout and identify which instructions are always required versus recalled from other sources. This reduces the risk of changing the wrong service or ignoring project conventions.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: SessionStart hook event. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is nodealchemy/powernode-platform's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on powernode-platform itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything powernode-platform configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

powernode-platform CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CLAUDE.md

Development guidance for Powernode: open-source mission control for AI agent fleets. This file is the outage-safe core — only global, high-stakes rules that must hold even if the MCP server is down. Situational rules live in hooks, scripts/pattern-validation.sh, and docs/contributing/conventions/ (recalled MCP-first). See Where guidance lives.

Project Overview

Control plane for production AI agent fleets — knowledge graph, governance, swarm coordination, MCP-native runtime, and the fleet substrate (bare-metal / VM / container lifecycle). MIT.

  • Backend: Rails 8 API (./server) — JWT auth, UUIDv7 PKs. Does NOT run Sidekiq.
  • Frontend: React TypeScript (./frontend) — theme-aware, Tailwind.
  • Worker: Sidekiq standalone (./worker) — API-only communication.
  • Public extensions (git submodules, MIT on GitHub): ./extensions/system, ./extensions/marketing, ./extensions/supply-chain.
  • Private extensions (remote-only, not in public clones; added by maintainers): under ./extensions/private/*. The platform runs in core mode when absent — single-user self-hosted, all core capabilities unlocked, no billing/SaaS.
  • Database: PostgreSQL (native UUID) + pgvector.

Project Status: docs/reference/auto/todo.md (auto-generated — do not edit).

Core Models

Account → User (many), Agent (many), Skill (many)
User → Roles, Permissions, Invitations
Agent → Conversations, Tasks, Goals, ApprovalRequests

Where guidance lives

Route by enforceability: git keeps only what a hook, spec or gate can check (lint, layout, imports, this core); the situational (runbooks, empirics, deploy facts, incidents, procedures) lives in platform knowledge. Then by trigger shape:

Rule shape Home Surfaces / enforces via
Always + high-stakes + not checkable this file (core) always loaded
Mechanically checkable .claude/hooks/*.sh + scripts/pattern-validation.sh edit-time hook / adherence scan
Reusable pattern / procedure platform guidance-*, git seed docs/contributing/conventions/ MCP-first queries + SessionStart digest
Subsystem-scoped nested server//frontend//worker/ CLAUDE.md loads when editing that tree
Decision / incident / preference platform knowledge, tag memory harness MEMORY.md until migrated; search_knowledge tags:["memory"] (no Claude digest yet: query it)
Crypto / private-extension logic extension only (never core) core-purity-check.sh (blocking)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
